Filmmaker Kunal Kohli, the director of films like ‘Hum Tum’ and ‘Fanaa’, has mocked Bollywood celebrities for attending reality and comedy shows – when the stars of India’s biggest blockbuster ‘Bahubali 2’ didn’t make national television appearances – nor did they answer “silly Q&A’s” in various interviews that are said to be a part of film promotions.
“So the stars of Bahubali 2 didn’t go on reality & comedy shows & make an ass of themselves doing silly things & answering silly q&a’s” Kunal said.
The director also made a valid point when he questioned why people are only discussing the record-breaking numbers – but not the content of ‘Bahubali 2’ which is getting those numbers.
“The juggernaut of Bahubali 2 rolls on. As amazing as the numbers are. Why aren’t people discussing the content which made the numbers?” he said in his second tweet.
‘Bahubali 2’ became the first Indian film to cross the 1000 crore mark on Sunday, just 10 days after its theatrical release. The marketing spend was less than the money that gets spent on marketing low to medium budget Hindi films – yet the Hindi version of the film will eventually break the record of ‘Dangal’ to become the highest Hindi grosser of all time.
They didn’t need to. It was 1 of the most anticipated films, which is not the case with every film out there.
#KattapaNeBahubaliKoKyunMara was a national question
Not every film is a Bahubali. There are films like Raees, too, which needs promotions on trains
Go to youtube u could see the promotions done by Bhabhubali Team down South.It’s a dubbed movie may be that’s why they didn’t do any promotions in North
btw…who is this kunal?? loser!!
I think there’s not much craze among South Indians for Hindi movies. Their low-grade stories that seems to be the norm in recent years, is not helping either.
srk tops the chart doing all these silly things he start marketing his movies 1year before release eg ra.1 fan, Chennai Express, eventually he made 50 appearences on tv for OSO, which is still the highest by any actor for promotions, rather making good movies, fooling audience with train trip , result all these movies were crap with zero content, intially took good opening later fallen flat, so bollywood pls spend more time on content, and story telling like Rajamouli rather fooling audience with all these non sense publicity,
One moron named @ hrithik always chants like a parrot tat hrithik had once said salman superstar.lol it was only due to respect given by him which lallu don’t deserve…in my opinion lallu is the worst ever person ( he is not even a star ) to ever grace bollywood…
Gadar ek prem katha was the only hindi film that created this rage. The rest of the movies are just time pass.
@chamankapoor : If your idol jadoo think Salman is respectable then you can imagine his stature. Salman also trained him in Body building before KNPH, even while taking his first year awards HR named Salman thanking him. You keep drowning in hatred !!!!!!!
@Ruler,Bollywood is remaking every low grade movies from South.We r not stupid to waste our money again.Bring something new then we will watch it.
